I Application led Hay 4, 1912. Serial No. 695,048.

Fig. 3 shows the second step in the stitching; Fig. 4, a further step;and F1g. 5, a

completed glove.

My invention is particularly adapted to the makin of working gloves ofdrill or duck, such s are used by working men, as chauffeurs,machinists, motor-nien, and the like, for the purpose of protectingtheir hands from dirt and abrasion, \in performing ltheir duties. Insuch glovesthe first consideration is one of cheapness of'production, inorder that the gloves may be sold at a price which will permit offrequent replacement, as the gloves become soiled or worn in use. Ingloves as ordinarily made,

-the glovev is-made up of the palm piece,

having four projecting finger parts to f orm the inner side ofthefingers', a back piece, having four projecting finger parts to form theouter or back side of the fingers; a thumb blank, and, usually, sixgusset blanks to be set in on the sides of' the fingers to give therequisite,` circumference to the fingers.

In my new glove, the main portion of glove, including the thumb, isformed of one integral sheet, so 'designed that there is little waste ofmaterial in' cutting the blank, aswill be obvious from an examination ofFig. 1. The blank, as shown in Flg. 1, will produce either a right handor a left hand glove, according as it is folded.

In the drawings, A is the main or body blank of the glove, B is thesmall blank. The blank shown in Fig. 1 is supposed to show what willultimately be the outside of the glove which is indicated by o, whilethe parts of the material, which will ultimatelybe inside of the gloveare marked w. The blank is divided by lines a, a', a2, which indicatetheY lines of folding of the glove preparatory to stitching. Part 1 isthe palm portion having integral projections 11, 12,

small blank;

13 and 14, to form the inner or palm side of the fingers of thecompleted glove. Part 2 is the back portion integral with part 1 andhaving, integral projections 21, and 24, to form the back lor outerparts of the first and little fingers of the completed glove.

Part 3 forms part of the wrist portion and,

cooperating with part 15 forms the thumb.

B is the Small blank, formed in two sections b2 and b3, which sectionsform the backs. and sides of the second and third lingers as will beobvious from a consideration of Figs. 1 and 5 of the drawings, thesesections b2 and b3 extending in the same general direction side by side,and back of the fork of the fingers lies an integral eX.- tension which,as will be hereinafter described, is attached by sewing to the blank aand gives the necessary fullness for the glove, all as clearly shown inFigs. 1 and The glove is assembled and stitched, as follows: The blankis laid out as in Fig.'1 with the outside, o, of the glove uppermost.

The blank B is first stitched to blank A, the

as side being uppermost at the commencement of the operation. Theattaching sea-m is begun at point p (Figs. 1 and 2), passing to aturning point at p. Blank B is turned on the sewing machine needle, ason a pivot at this point, the flexible material of the aglove permittingthis and the seam continued to p2, where another turn is made and theseam continued to p3. The blank B by this operation has been reversedand when the united blanks are pulled straight, will be found to haveits o side/uppermost, in conformity to the other blank.

Thev blankk A is now folded along line a2, and

again on line a', then folded to bring the palm 1 and back 2 portions inopposition,

and the curved'edge of part 3 into position with the curved wristportion of part 1. The second seam is then begun at the wrist, stitchingthe edges of part 3 and'l together (see Fig. 3) then following bystitching part 3 to the opposing edge of part 15 until the fold a2 isreached, then along the outer side of the 'first finger portion,connecting the inner portion 11 of that finger with the back portion 21.At the u per inner end of the first finger the ed e ofppart b2 of blankB is reached and sti-tc ed all around to part 12 of the palm piece,following along by stitching part -b3', to part 13 o the palm piece,then along the inside of the little finger, stitching parts 14 and 24together, around the tip of the finger to fold a, thus completing theglove of two pieces with two seams. The glove is now turned right sideout bringing the edges of the seams inside the finished glove.

The glove made as above described, requires less material than ordinarygloves, owing to the saving in seams; it is stronger, since it is morenearly unitary in structure and has fewer seams to rip; it is moresightly and better fitting' owing to the fact that the finger portionsare not filled with seams. It is cheaper to eut, as two dies and twocuttings only are required and it is cheaper to assemble and finishowing to the few parts and the fact that only two sewings or seamingsare necessary.

I claim:

The two-piece glove above described,

l made up of a blank having a palm portion l carrying the inner part ofthe :tour fingers I and the thumb; a back portion carrying the f outerpart of the first and little fingers and l another portion to Cover theoutside of the (thumb and wrist; a second blank shaped to form the backsand sides of the second g and third fingers, the respective fingerpieces l lying side-by side and haviiig an extension back of the fork ofthe finger` pieces to i reach and cover the fork of the fingers fromback to palm and secured to the back portion of the first blank betweenthe projee tions for the first :ind fourth fingers.
